Why do windows have two panes of glass separated by a layer of air

Physics
1 answer:
Soloha48 [4]3 years ago
7 0

Air is a poor conductor of heat.  The air trapped between the two panes is a pretty good <em>insulator</em>.  It does a lot to prevent heat from flowing through the windows ... keeping heat IN during the Winter, and OUT during the Summer.

A basketball is thrown straight up in the air. At its peak, it is 0.02 km high and has a velocity of 0 m/s. What is its final ve
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

20 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Δy = 0.02 km = 20 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: v

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (9.8 m/s²) (20 m)

v = 19.8 m/s

Rounded to one significant figure, the final velocity is 20 m/s towards the ground.

If an object accelerating at −1.5m/s^2 takes 1.2s to reach 5.0m/s, what was its initial speed?
USPshnik [31]

-1.5 m/s^2 x 1.2 seconds = -1.8 m/s

It is a negative value which means the object slowed down. The object would have originally been going that amount more.


5.0 + 1.8 = 6.8 m/s


answer: 6.8 m/s

A car with a mass of 3 Kg and velocity of 40 m/s collided with a truck of a velocity of 60 m/s, if the momentum is conserved wha
Luden [163]

Answer:

the mass of the truck is 2 kg.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the car, m₁ = 3 kg

initial velocity of the car, u₁ = 40 m/s

initial velocity of the truck, u₂ = 60 m/s

let the mass of the truck = m₂

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momemtum;

m₁u₁ = m₂u₂

m₂ = (m₁u₁) / u₂

m₂ = (3 x 40) / (60)

m₂ = 2 kg

Therefore, the mass of the truck is 2 kg.
